Fifth Question -"#fail"?

Skipped the fourth question. So sue me.

Ignatieff and Duceppe have been asked a question about the gun registry. This is not going to be a debate. This is going to be both of them slagging on Harper for six minutes.

Debate season is refreshing. All of the political dirty laundry gets aired. So far, we've covered the senate, the climate change bill, losing the UN security seat to Portugal the G20, and now the gun registry. Let's not talk about the economy, which has been brought up too many times.  If we can mention the Afghan detainee scandal and the mega jails. before 9:00, I think we've covered all our bases.


In reaction to the gun registry, Harper is falling back to his tough on crime platform. Well, it's better than hearing "We're pulling out of the recession before anyone else, our economy is the strongest in the world" and such hyperbole.

Layton just said that one of Harper's policies was a "hashtag-fail". Awesome!

  1. I think the twitterverse went atwitter when he said that. It sounded funny and wrong at the same time.
